Front bead on Mossberg 500-replacement

ammo guy

Need help on replacing a front bead on a Revelation model 310 AB( same as Mossberg 500 according to the info I have). The bead appears to be a press fit type. Where can replacements be found and what is the best method of putting it in? Is it possible to thread the hole for the screw in type bead?

Appears and is are two different things.
Is the bead completely missing?

www.havlinsales.com if you can't find it anywhere else like numrich or brownells.

I would drill it and thread it and then screw a new bead in.

Mossberg 500's use a screw in front bead unless they have recently changed. If it is a press in one you should be able to drill the hole out and thread to 6x48, which is what most screw in beads are, although they can be had with smaller threaded shafts.
